Stopped in (for the 3rd time) to view the Omega Seamaster.
After much research, several ebay reviews, and the good advice here...this is where the status is currently.
Certification - Jeweler says "he" certified it. No paperwork.
Service - Jeweler says "he" serviced it. No paperwork.
No red cards.
Blondish wooden (faux?) box looks pristine. Push button front.
Original manual included.
This watch looks "better" than the close up details I've seen on line (nicks/scratches) of current watches for sale.
His counter offer to $3500 was $4500.
No purchase at this time.
There are 2 bracelet links in the box.
Of all the Seamaster series, I do like this one "professional 2500D" the best. Black.
Still looking at present.
Truly appreciate the help here.
Several very good prices out of japan - however after reading articles on the custom fees, hesitant of that option.
Grateful for this resource.
